You don't tell fetchmail anything. If you care to read the manfile; 

   "Disposal Options
       -a, --all
              (Keyword: fetchall) Retrieve both old (seen) and  new  mes­
              sages  from  the  mailserver.  The default is to fetch only
              messages the server has not marked seen.  Under POP3,  this
              option  also  forces the use of RETR rather than TOP.  Note
              that POP2 retrieval behaves as though --all  is  always  on
              (see  RETRIEVAL  FAILURE  MODES below) and this option does
              not work with ETRN or ODMR."
